(if we can't, we should)

we can't merge them, we can only edit them all one by one

what kind of instrument is it?

i have an expert on the topic if it's asian..

both the saz and a baglama is on that page you linked us :P

Turkish-Greek, IIRC

perfect

i'll bring him in

if it will help?

hi Tecfan

hi

how can I help?

saz vs baglama

what do you want to know?

how are they related?

well, Wikipedia says:

It is sometimes referred to as the saz (from the Persian ساز‎, meaning a kit or set), although the term "saz" actually refers to a family of plucked string instruments, long-necked lutes used in Ottoman classical music, Turkish folk music, Azeri music, Kurdish music, Persian music, Assyrian music, and in parts of Syria, Iraq and the Balkan countries

e.g. I know from Turkey mostly the term saz

my father had a saz

ok, so saz is an instrument family

right now we have baglama, which has a subtype "turkish baglama" which has a subtype "greek baglama"

That sounds quite confusing :p

why do you think I'm confused :P

and saz needs to go somewhere in the tree

I think that's supposed to mean it's derived from the turkish one

Pffft

(like we have sanxian > sanshin > shamisen or something)

Note, get rid of the tree :P

I can't just magic it away :(

when there is no tree, there is no wood to make the sazs or baglamas ;-) bad joke I know

haha

me too

so either it's not a bad joke or I have a bad sense of humour :P

nikki: or both :p

hehe

so you guys are doing the musicbrainz tagging system? cool

I remember when I tried once to create an artist at MB, it was really fast deleted :-)

that is actually good, keeps quality high I guess

on the other side: demotivates newbies

but good anyways

did you add a release to the artist?

same thing happened to me this weekend..

I think, at least I thought I did it good, but soimething must have missed still

added artists and they were gone ;>

:-(

her ErkanYilmaz1, I have used shamisen in one of my songs ;)))

nice :-)

already tagged it ^^

which one?

comes in at 20 seconds

ok

is there a way to see a timeline of submitted CD stubs?

Hello people :)

anyone with knowledge about the import functions of mb around ?

Naed: I probably don't know the answer, but what's your question?

when you drag an album from the left pane to the unmatched/clusters pane, some albums will divide into a disc1 / disc2 layout, any way of disabling that ?

thanks for answering :)

ha! I knew that I wouldn't know the answer...

But what about working from the other direction? drag the correct release from the MB website into the right pane of Picard, then match your tracks to that release one at a time?

(assuming it's only a few releases that are giving you a problem)

hmm

that is indeed one way of doing it, the problem is that it isnt just a few :D

i basically have the joy of sorting the musiccollection of a jukebox with 400gigs of music

yeah, my know-nothing work-arounds don't scale well. If you check back on this channel, somebody more clue-ful than me is usually around. Or try the forums. It's less real-time, but eventually the right person will see your question.

meanwhile, I'll play around with Picard and see what if I can stumble upon a better answer.\

aye aye aye :) im looking at the different scripting options atm

to see if i cant force them back together afterwards

Is it tracks from a single CD that are being split into a 2-disc set?

nah, 2sec, ill grab a couple of the tracknames

120-dizzy_mizz_lizzy-waterline_(morten_breum_remix).mp3 <- last track on cd 1

201-robyn-dancing_on_my_own.mp3 <- first track on cd2

these are, with the rest of the release in a single directory

untill i drag'n'drop them :)

Yeah, sorry, wish I knew. The advantage to asking on the forums is that the answer then there for others to find later.

aye, i know, i just came here in the hope of stumbling on one that did know :)

but all is not lost, what you have said has helped :)

http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=... maybe?

hmm, some of that can be used, but i think ive stumbled upon the script that i need, now i just need to tweak it to work like i want :)

http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=... <- post 5, the script for various :)

oops, wrong one :D

$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if(%date%,\($left(%date%,4)\) )$if($rsearch(%album%,\(\\\([^\\\)]*disc[^\\\)]*\\\)\)),$rreplace(%album%,\\\([^\\\)]*disc[^\\\)]*\\\),)/)%album%/$num(%tracknumber%,2) %artist% - %title% <- this is the one

just need it to cut out a single level :)

Nice

Naed: there is a picard plugin on the wiki to remove "(disc 1)" and "(disc 2)" from titles
